An injury and suspension-ridden Perth side have swept aside a week of controversy, defeating Newcastle 12-10 in the Pre-Season Trophy Final.
The match was neck and neck all the way to 10-all, when Perth fans couldn't believer their eyes as the dream of the Semi-Final victory over premiers Melbourne repeated itself as Newcastle hit the net twice, handing Perth the 12-10 victory.
The morning before the match started badly, with several players suspended, as well as captain Jimmy Twix, over the scandal that ensued in Melbourne after Perth's semi-final victory.
The captaincy was ironically handed to rookie Ian McGovern, who had been the intended butt of the prank gone wrong.
McGovern accepted the Pre-Season Trophy on behalf of the team in a subdued ceremony afterwards.
Eyes now turn to the regular First Division ARTTSL season which is about to commence, with the final draw to be announced any time soon.
